The Blurred Crusade is the second album by the Australian alternative rock band the Church, released in March 1982 by EMI Parlophone.[3] Moving away from the new wave leanings of their debut, it was stylistically more complex and "a smoother, fuller release".[3] "With its mystical lyrics the second album ... brought the group's own style more into focus".[4] The album peaked at No. 10 on the Australian Kent Music Report Albums Chart and "Almost With You" reached No. 21 on the related Singles Chart.[5]
